OBSTRrCTIONS TO Reform

Tie Presidents message to Congress,
as was expected, has aroused the pro-
tectionists, and we may as well make up
our minds TO the inevitable. We are all
tariff for revenue only, on ell things ex-
cepting what we ourselves are interested
| in, and the tariff must be reduced with
out doubt on eli things else. The Ma
! ionsl Wool Growers Association has
already met and it seems has strong
lobby in Washington. They are tariff for
revenue men, staunch snd true, every
mothers son OF them, but they do not
| want the duties on wool reduc d. They
can show, and do show by the Irresistible
logic of facts and & .ures, that the reduc-
ton Of the tariff On wool in '83 increased
the revenue from $I7OO to $4,000
while the number OF sheep in the
country was reduced some II per cent
These gentlemen want the revenues re-
duced, cut taking portion of the tariff of
Of wool is the poorest way in the world
10 do it-in fac5, it has be n shown that
this is the way to increase it. Cheap
blankets for the poor man IS good enough,
nut it would be lmpoIitic to sill increase
the governmental revenues, and st the
same time drive every sheep and sheep
man ou5 Of the country. The sugar plan
ters will be next heard from. Their argu
ments will not be unlike those OF the
sheepmen, ard they too will have an array
of facts snd figures. They are tariff for
revenue men, every one, but without pro
lection the sugar industry must die out in
this county. Reduce the tariff of course,
but on some other srticle-don't ruin the
sugar Industry. And SO I'll along the
line. Every important protected industry
is organized in compact for n and its
executive head will act as lobby. One
interest will trade and dicker with the
other and the game Of "you tickle me
and I'll tickle you" will be played for all
1t is worth. Meantime Mr.. Randall and
his friends have not been heard, nor be-
trsyed the least anxiety. The fight must
aud will be kept up along the line by
pickets and wandering squads until the
time for revenue reform is exhausted ara
the opportunity lost. Those who have
taken such heart over reading the Presi-
dents massage and the supposed in
crease In and spread OF free trade senti-
ment, will be surprised to fad that when
the prac icsl part of reducing the tariff
is reached the same old opposition will be
on hsnd. The protected interests have
grown rich and powerful, ard they will
make hard fight. They will fight for
their own personal interests and viii
have to fight those who will be inspired

sOWn.

| No section OF Texas is more directly
| interested in the movement calculated to
promote immigration to Texas than is
the great west, from No Mans Land to
the Rio Grande. A convention has been
called TO meet at Dallas On the 10th inst,
to formulate & plan of cooperation be-
tween the people ard railroads to the up.
building of Texas, and every town in the
state, and especially OF West Texas,
should be represented at that convention.
Mobee'ie, Clarendon, Vernon, Q1anah,
Wichita Falls, Henrietta, Decatur, Bowie,
Montague, Gainesville, Albany, Cisco,
Esstland, Brownwood, Coleman, S3n
Angelo, BalliDger, Lampasss, SWeetwa-

TOP, Arson. Haskell, Seymour, Archer,
Margaret, Baird, Brady, San Saba.
Breckenridge, Stephensville, Comanche,
Granbury, Goldthwsite, GatesviIIe,
and, in fact, every town in the west
should have delegates at Dallas On the
20.h.
That Dallas convention should outline
3 comprehensive action. Not only the
duty of the railroads. bat Of the people,
privately and in legislation, should be
considered. This m1vement is TO pro-
mote immigration and every factor in the
problem will De legitimate su5jecs of
consideration. The railroads can do
much, but cannot do all and should not be
expected to do all. The railroads can
nelp the people, but the people should
help themselves.
1t will be clearly within the province of
the Dallas convention to declare the duty
OF the people as well as that
Of the railroads, and if the people have
oeen unmindful of their own interests,
let the Dallas convention suggest the rec
tidcation.
Cooperation between people and rail
roads is the demand, and the great west
should be as Dallas to assist in formuIat-
ing the plan of this cooperation.

Atlanta met on board the vessel
Monday and an official report will
be made in a few days. The results
of the labors of the board, summa-
rized, are: The ship at present is
practically useless. Her structure
appears to be strong and free from
weakness, but her armament is horS
de cOm6.t. The deck of the YES
sci remains intact. The gun car
riages, clip-circle and clips will
have to be repaired before further
test can be made. This portion of
the fittings of the vessel evidently
was not intended to retard the recoll
of the guns, and the damage done
was in excess of what was reason
able. 1t is manifest from the loca-
ton of the six-ineh guns that if the
eight-inch guns were in perfect
order the six-inch guns would be
idle, as it would be impossible to
work both guns at the same time.
The smaller and secondary battery
is also useless while either the
eight-inch or six-inch guns are fired
The result is that the Atlanta as
vessel of war, as the armament is
now arranged, is absolutely worth
less, as a discharge of a high-power'
ed guns is likely to be followed by
injury to the vessel. The three
batteries, which ought to be so ar
ranged as to be fired, if necessary
simultaneously, are imperative TO
single fire. The same is true of tn
Chicago and Boston.
